"Beautiful property, the rooms were spacious and uniquely decorated and fit the jungle aesthetic. Due to its proximity to Yala National Park, we saw many wild Peacocks roaming around in the backyard. This also meant that the Safari jeep was able to pick us up on the main road easily on the way to the park. On the downside, the property was located at the end of a dirt path off the main road and was not properly marked on the map. This made it very difficult was taxi drivers to find the hotel....

Recent Reviews in Polgahawelana

Shangri-La Hambantota

10/10 Excellent

"This is a tropical oasis. Clean, big rooms, amazing pools, great food, gigantic breakfast buffet and beautiful evenings with cocktails at the lounge. Staff were friendly and the kids had a perfect day. This really is the new bar we’ll judge all future resorts against."

Jetwing Yala

10/10 Excellent

"Superb stay at the Jetwing. Every single staff member was unfailingly courteous and kind, helping make our stay really memorable. A special shout out to Chef Chintaka and Chef Induni for accommodating all our food requests and even concocting special meals for us. Absolutely amazing people and delicious food. The rooms were spacious, beautiful and very comfortable. It was great to be able to walk out to the beach and enjoy the environment. We have nothing negative to note and if you're considering this place, don't hesitate. It's not the cheapest option in Yala, but it's proximity to the national park and the level of service makes it, in our opinion, the best choice."

Laya Safari

10/10 Excellent

"Literally a paradise, the view from the room or actually anywhere in the hotel is amazing. Great food, good gym and pool. Very relaxing, since you can hear the ocean 24/7. Location is amazing cause it’s very convenient to the national Park. If you are doing a safari it’s a great option, it makes everything way easier. The room, was recently renovated and it was perfect. Very comfortable and luxurious. This place has some extra magic with elephants occasionally roaming the property. And every staff member being super friendly going above and beyond making sure you have the best time. Already planning to come back."

DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My parents were there to celebrate my dad’s birthday, and although we celebrated a little late, they had such a wonderful experience. Quoting my dad “The birthday arrangement was beautiful, the cake was lovely, and the famous DoubleTree cookie was the best. The breakfast and dinner buffets were both excellent, and the amenities were exceptional.” What really stood out to them was the warmth and attention to detail throughout their stay. My mum still can’t stop complimenting the food; my parents have travelled all around Sri Lanka and tried many different cuisines, so coming from them, that is actually really huge to hear! Next time I’m in Lanka, I already know where my first stop will be. 10/10 for such a great stay!"

Big Game Yala by Eco Team

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great stay. Different experience but great. Near to the Yala National Park and very nice place in contact with nature and the best... they offered evening and night walks which was amazing. Lovely PLace. It is a MUST!!! They also offer the safari tour to Yala National Park and it was AMAZING!!!"

Yala Hotel Elephant Eye

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here for a few days to go to Yala National Park and Hotel Elephant Eye was a great location for taking a SAFARI Tour. The owner is very friendly and the staff are very hardworking. The property is very well maintained. Room was clean and comfortable. We had breakfast in the restaurant. Easy walk or Tuk tuk to town for restaurants and grocery stores."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Polgahawelana?

The best area to stay in Polgahawelana is along the coastal stretch of Mirissa, particularly around the main beach and its western end.

This area is the heart of Polgahawelana's visitor experience, known for its crescent-shaped sandy beach and calm waters ideal for swimming. The main street running parallel to the beach, Udupila Road, is lined with guesthouses, restaurants, and small shops. You'll find a relaxed atmosphere here, with activities often revolving around the ocean.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find Mirissa particularly appealing. The western end of the beach offers slightly more secluded spots and often features hotels with private balconies overlooking the ocean, great for enjoying sunsets. It's also a good base for whale watching excursions, which typically depart from the local harbour.

For travellers interested in water activities and a laid-back pace, the area around Coconut Tree Hill and Parrot Rock offers easy access to surfing lessons and snorkeling opportunities.

When is the best time to go to Polgahawelana?

The best time to go to Polgahawelana is during the dry season, which runs from December to March, and again from June to September.

During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and plenty of sunshine, making it ideal for exploring the area's natural beauty and enjoying outdoor activities. This is particularly good for those looking to spend time on the beaches or visit the nearby national parks without the interruption of heavy downpours.

Travellers seeking a relaxing, sunny escape will find these periods perfect. The weather is generally warm and pleasant, allowing for comfortable sightseeing and leisurely days by the coast.
